http://beagleboard.org/source

Recommended Beagle Software

Mainline U-Boot:

All old Ax, Bx, Cx and Dx boards are required to upgrade to at least these U-Boot versions.
XM Boards have no NAND, so MLO/u-boot.img is always required on the first partition
Directions: Upgrade X-loader and U-Boot

Debian NetInstall

Scripts:

git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall.git
cd netinstall

Device Options:

BeagleBoard --dtb omap3-beagle
BeagleBoard xM --dtb omap3-beagle-xm
BeagleBone (serial) --dtb am335x-bone-serial

BeagleBone Black --dtb am335x-boneblack
PandaBoard (A1->A3) --dtb omap4-panda
PandaBoard (A4->Ax) --dtb omap4-panda-a4
PandaBoard ES  --dtb omap4-panda-es

You will need a 1GB SD card or greater.

Standard System : ~455MB
+ Desktop environment (GNOME) : ~2.9GB

Flasher

eMMC: BeagleBone Black

This image can be written to a 2GB (or larger) microSD card, via 'dd' on linux or on windows: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager First press and hold the boot select button (next to the microSD card), then apply power. On bootup the board should indicate it has started the flashing procedure visually via a Cylon Sweep pattern shown on the 4 LED's next to the ethernet jack. Progress is reported on both the serial debug and hdmi connectors, once completed all 4 LED's should be full ON. Simply remove power, remove the microSD card and Debian will now boot directly from eMMC.

Script for reference: (this is the script that writes to the eMMC)

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh

This script will only take about 5-6 Minutes after power on.

Notes:

If only two LED's stay lit and nothing happens, the board has crashed due to lack of power. Retry with a 5Volt DC power supply connected.
If the 4 LED's blink a constant pattern, the eMMC write has failed. First REMOVE ALL capes, then retry again.

On bootup the board should indicate it has started the flashing procedure visually via a Cylon Sweep pattern shown on the 4 LED's next to the ethernet jack. Progress is reported on both the serial debug and hdmi connectors, once completed all 4 LED's should be full ON.  Simply remove power, remove the microSD card and Debian will now boot directly from eMMC.

+Notes:
+* If only two LED's stay lit and nothing happens, the board has crashed due to lack of power. Retry with a 5Volt DC power supply connected.

-If you want to log in with the serial port, you will have to add to /etc/inittab
+Get prebuilt image:
-  S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyS2
+ wget https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/2015-01-06/microsd/bbx15-debian-7.7-console-armhf-2015-01-06-2gb.img.xz
-And if you want to log in as root on the serial port, add ttyS2 to /etc/securetty.
+Verify Image with:
+ md5sum bbx15-debian-7.7-console-armhf-2015-01-06-2gb.img.xz
+ b7823881e05cec0c3494cfefefda6845  bbx15-debian-7.7-console-armhf-2015-01-06-2gb.img.xz
-Note : the beagle board I have was not configured as USB host. I had to modify it to be able to use mouse and keyboards (see [http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#OTG]). I you do not want to do this, you'll have to install a Vnc server on the beagle to access desktop.
+Linux:
+ unxz bbx15-debian-7.7-console-armhf-2015-01-06-2gb.img.xz
+ sudo dd if=./bbx15-debian-7.7-console-armhf-2015-01-06-2gb.img of=/dev/sdX
-==Current Issues==
+= Debian Configuration =
-#Xorg not displaying, modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf as following :
- Section "Device"
- 	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
- 	Option		"UseFBDev"		"true"
- 	Driver		"fbdev"
- EndSection
-#Swap disabled: change /dev/hda5 -> /dev/mmcblk0p5 in /etc/fstab (artifact of qemu install to /dev/hdaX)
-#RTC seems to be not enabled: use ntpdate when ethernet works, or issue
- date +"%m%d%y%H%M" -s MMDDYYHHMM
-[[Image:Beagleboarddebian-GNOME.jpg]]
+== Serial Ports ==
-==Notes==
+To start a login console on ttyO2 (the serial header next to P9), edit /etc/inittab and add:
-#'fbdev' is normally *slow* since it completely relies on the system cpu to update the framebuffer.  Once the video processing core's driver is released this will no longer be an issue.
+  T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyO2 115200 vt102
-# Debian/Gnome actually need the swap to run (up to 90Mo of swap space on my beagle with 128Mo RAM shipped on it) so that it's even slower when using the SD card (try using an external hdd disk).
-=Advanced: Building a Native Debian Kernel=
+To start a console on the USB ACM device, add the following to /etc/inittab,
+ GS0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyGS0 115200 vt102
-Note, these are just general build hints.

+ sudo apt-get install ti-sgx-es8-modules-`uname -r`
+ sudo depmod -a `uname -r`
+ sudo update-initramfs -uk `uname -r`
-Auto builds for lenny, sid, and mojo's; linux-image and linux-headers's in appropriate schroot's.
+Build SGX userspace (must be done on an x86, due to the TI 5.01.01.01 blob extractor)
